Englishman
Jim Clark
(or Jimmy Clark) was born as James Clark jr. in 1936. He was the dominant driver of his era, winning two World Championships, in 1963 and 1965. At the time of his death,
Clark
achieved 33 pole positions and won 25 races from his 72 Grands Prix starts in championship races. He also competed in the
Indianapolis
500 five times, and won it once, in 1965. He is remembered for his ability to drive and win in all types of cars and series, including a Lotus-Cortina, with which he won the 1964 British Touring Car Championship, IndyCar, NASCAR, driving a Ford Galaxie for the Holman Moody team, Rallying, where he took part in the 1966
RAC
Rally of Great Britain in a Lotus Cortina, and nearly won the event before crashing, and sports cars. He competed in the Le Mans 24 Hour race in 1959, 1960 and 1961, finishing second in class in 1959 driving a Lotus Elite, and finishing third overall in 1960, driving an Aston Martin DBR1.
He was also able to master difficult Lotus sportscar prototypes such as the Lotus 30 and 40.
Clark
had an uncanny ability to adapt to whichever car he was driving. Whilst other drivers would struggle to find a good car setup,
Clark
would usually set competitive lap times with whatever setup was provided and ask for the car to be left as it was.
